Just do it - motivational speaker Jim Rohn.

Message from Sean Conway, The Millionaire's Plan:

Jim Rohn is one of the worlds leading motivational speakers. In the article below he talks about what motivated him to change.

I like the statement:'My philosophy was all wrong,' says Rohn. 'I was preventing myself from succeeding.'

I wonder how many people out there are exactly the same! Getting in the way of their own success.


Just do it - motivational speaker Jim Rohn - Interview
Entrepreneur, Jan, 1996 by Robert McGarvey


When he was 25, Jim Rohn had pennies in his pocket, no money in the bank and creditors calling. He was straight off an Idaho farm, clerking in a store, and didn't have much planned for the future. Then Rohn met Earl Shoaffuan Entrepreneur who had made a fortune in vitaminsuand Shoaff told him his future would look exactly like his recent past . . . unless he made some big changes.

Like what? For starters, Shoaff told him he had to face the fact that it wasn't the government or taxes or competition that was keeping him down. What was? Rohn's own thinking about success: 'My philosophy was all wrong,' says Rohn. 'I was preventing myself from succeeding.'

So Rohn set about discarding his old thinking and adopting new disciplines for sharpening his skills and goals. 'Do that,' said Shoaff, 'and you'll make millions.'

Guess what? Shoaff was right. By age 31, Rohn had left clerking to become a top-flight salesman for Shoaffuand he had earned his first million. Rohn was on his way."
